CHICAGO — Three people have been arrested after a stolen car crashed into a taxi and killed a passenger on the city's Near North Side.

The crash happened just before 11 p.m. Wednesday at Dearborn Street and Grand Avenue in River North, when the driver of a stolen Jeep Grand Cherokee attempted to flee a traffic stop.

Police attempted to pull over the stolen Jeep, when it took off south on State Street, then west on Grand. The driver then ran a red light at Grand and Dearborn and crashed into the taxi -- then hit two pedestrians.

A 66-year-old woman passenger in the taxi was killed. She's been identified as Diana J. Lampsa of Palmyra, Wisconsin.
